Tax Accountant (In-House) - #2191373

Distinct are working exclusively with ASK4 on a Tax Accountant role in Sheffield.

You’d work directly with the Head of Tax, and in a typical month you’d touch corporation tax, provisioning, VAT, overseas filings and a few things most people don’t meet until much later.

About ASK4

ASK4 provides managed internet, smart building technology and IT services for buildings with lots of people living or working in them.

It’s private equity backed, it operates across Europe, and it’s growing. That’s what makes the tax interesting: several countries, several companies, and a business that installs as well as supplies, which is why the Construction Industry Scheme turns up in a technology company.

What you’d actually do

Corporation tax. Gathering what you need from finance, drafting the computations for each UK company, then updating them after review so they’re ready to file.

Tax accounting. Drafting the current and deferred tax numbers for each company and for the group, the year end journals and any prior year corrections, plus a short pack setting out the judgement calls and loose ends for the Head of Tax.

VAT. Helping review the quarterly UK returns and tying each one back to the ledger.

Europe. Keeping the overseas filings moving. You’d be the day to day contact for the advisers abroad, watch the deadlines, and raise and record the payments.

The calendar. Owning the group’s list of what’s due and when, and saying early if something looks at risk.

And the rest. Workings for R&D and capital allowances claims. Checking installation projects and contracts are treated correctly under CIS. Helping refresh the transfer pricing file each year. First drafts of replies to HMRC. First answers to tax questions from around the business. A hand in bigger projects when they come up.

Why that matters

Breadth early on is worth more than it looks. People who’ve seen how the pieces connect at this stage tend to be the ones trusted with the joined up problems later.

And you’ll see it from the inside. Your drafts go to the person who signs them off, and you’ll find out what happened next.

Who is this for

Someone ATT, CTA, ACA or ACCA qualified, or close to finishing with the right experience behind them.

Two or three years of hands on tax compliance, in practice or in house, including UK corporation tax computations in specialist software.

A working knowledge of current and deferred tax, and of UK VAT.

You produce tidy first drafts and you flag the tricky bits before anyone has to ask. You’re organised, you’re comfortable with Excel and finance systems, and you’re happy dealing with advisers, colleagues and HMRC.
